WASHINGTON, D. G. Sept. 12.-
Well, you can, with a reasonable de-
gree Of positiveness. inform an anx-
iously listening earth-oF, at least the
North Carolina portion of it-that
Grover Cleveland will not be in Raj
eigh during the progress of the next
State fair.
There now.
You had tears to shed; you made
ample preparations, | hope, to shed
them and now, like Siobe, you are
all tears-of course.
Don't ask aphy he will not be there,
for couldn't tell you if my life de-
pended on my doing SO. He probab-
y prefers to be elsewhere At any
rate, his route is said to have been
definitely mapped ont; his plans and
program all arranged, and North
Carollna-well, he hasn't got us on
the list, that's all And so we "get
left, to use forcible if vulgar ex-
preston.
What the State fair managers will
do Sin the absence of the presence" of
a real live President-and a Demo-
cratic President, at that, is debat-
able question. Unless, indeed, they
/ DO as they have done heretofore-do
| without.
Now there is solid, hefy chunk
of cons olation for you. So dry yonr
! optics.

military display will be particular

participate in the parade. The only

extracts from the dedication to the
disabled Confederate veterans:
DEDICATION. -
You confronted nearly three mil
lions Of enlisted men, during four
wears of the bloodiest war on record,
with a patriotism and a heroism I'M
surpassed in history. Of these 3,000,-
600 men, enlisted in the armies of the
United States, 3O3,843 were killed
during the war, and the average OF
killed and wounded in battle, on one
side or the other, frequently exceeded
thirty per cent of the forces engaged.
Neither Waterloo nor Wagram, nor
Lodi, nor any of the great battles
fought by Napoleon, show as great
percentage of losses as the battles OF
the Wilderness and Spottsylvania,
Chicamauga, and Atlanta, Gettysburg
or Shiloh.
At Gettysburg, Pennsylvania a.
900 men fell; at Chicamauga, Geor-
gia, $4,000 men were killed and
wounded. Malice can find no lasting
place in hero's heart, and these fig
ures are presented; not to revive bitter
memories of the past, but that the
reader may appreciate the enormous
number of helpless, aged, and crippled
veterans throughout the Southern
States. While twelve millions of dol
lars are paid each month, as pensions
to the Federal soldiers, whether
wounded or not, no government pen
sions these Southern soldiers, and nc
public charities have been organized
| for their benefit.
LET VETERANS HOMES BE BUILT FOE
THOSE THAT ARE HELPLESS.
Philanthropy had never noblel
field Of labor, and patriots gratitude
cannot find more worthy recipients
than these manned heroes who yield
ed all in defense of their country.
We of the South, owe it to then
as sacred duty, and the great heart
of the American people will esteem il
debt worthily bestowed.

PENCIL PARIS Gs.
CongressmanSimmons was in Wash
ington last week.
r. L. Flowers, of North Carolina,
successfully passed his examination
last week as a cadet at the Annapolis
naval academy.
At meeting of the national execu-
tive committe of the Omitted Labor

Congressman Nichols, of the Raleigh
district, was elected member of the
committee.
The announcement of the probably
fatal illness of Hon. G. G. Meminger,
who was the Confederate Secretary of
the Treasury, recalls to mind the fact
that upon his death only two of Presi-
dent Davis cabinet officers will be liv-
ing-Senator Reagan, Of Texas, who
was Postmaster General, and Hon
George Davis, of Wilmington, the
Confederate Attorney General.
A Washington Sunday paper, in
noting the above facts, yesterday stat
ed that Mr.. Davis law practice at
Wilmington was so remanerative that
he had refused the Chief JusticeshiE
OF his State and the Democratic eau
Gus nomination for United States Sen
ator from North Carolina Judge
Davis would adorn either place, but
never heard before that he had refused
| those offices.
Some of the Republican newspaper
are endeavoring to get up..a boom to-
Lincoln and Grant-Bob Lincoln ant
Fred Grant, the "sons of their fathers
as the next Presidential ticket o
their party. 1t is altogether to-
ghostly arrangement to suit the Amer
lean people, but If the Republican
party intends to make the next fgh

ticket for them to nominate, and

from some point in Virginia, via Win
ston and Mocksyille, through to
Statesgille, there to connect with the
A. 7. & O., the little road with the
big name, between Statesville and
Charlotte.
The Winston and Wilkesboro road
is being pushed right along. Hands
at both ends are making the dirt fly
and next month will see still larger
force at work.
Just here let it not be forgotten
that the Roanoke and Southern is now
being surveyed and that all the stock
holders are confident that it will be
built.
As examples of how property is adj
vanci lg, we give the following point
ers
Two gentlemen within the last
month bought small lots at 1925 each.
They have already sold them for $500
each.
Another lot was bought at $12S and
changed hands the same week at
$500
Still another-a residence, was sold
within the past sixty days at private
sale for $4,000 To day the buyer re
fuses s., 800. These are only a few OF
many similar advances.
Within the past three months We
have seen real estate steadily advanc
ing, some of it from twenty-five, fifty
one hundred-on up to two hun
bred per cent. These are fact:
that can be proved at any
day, and they give an idea of how the
town is progressing.
! Talk about Birmingham, Admission
and the mush room cities further
South? We believe no field offers a
/ good, safe investments as some cite:
in North Carolina.

there is more solidity, more steedines

RAILROADS AND REAL ESTATE.

We have been informed that the
only hindrance to the Winston and
Mocksville Railroad, heretofore, has
been debt of $4,000, incurred on
the North Carolina Midland. Il is
now said that Col A. B. Andrews has
made satisfactory settlement and
that the road will be built at once. IF
this is so, and we see no reason to
doubt it, Winston-S Salem will soon be
enc of the largest railroad centres int
the State. It is said the Mocksville
road is only part of the line, to run

Col. Staples on Internal Revenue.

81 do not believe you could raise a
corporaPs guard in North CaIoli in
favor of the present internal revenue
system. 1t is regarded as war meas
ure of the most offensive and obiec-
tionable character. The people of the
State are overwhelmingly in favor of
its repeal. There is great diversity of
opinion on the subject of taxing whis-
key and tobacco. Some people would
not object to be taxed on whiskey, but
the greater number would favor the
repeal of the tax ON tobacco. The
system of collection greatly augments
the objections to the tax"

AND 6LOAN ASSOCIA-
lion.

We have spoken heretofore Of the
benefits to be derived by the working
men from building and loan associ-
alton We have given statement of
how it worked in Il neighboring town,
and now we add more information,
contributed To the New Berne Journal
by Mr.. p. II. Pelleteir.
The plan is this: tissue shares of
500 each, to be paid for at the rate
of S1.00 per month. This money to
be loaned under the rules of the asso-
citation, for the sole purpose of i'm
provements upon real property in the
city limits Said loan TO be made at
s per cent per annum interest. In
terest on whole amount borrowed, to-
gether with the one hundredth part of
principal money to be paid back to-
the association each month.
THE plan is very simple and bene
sicial. As an investment for the shan e.
holders it is very remuncrative. For
example, you pay in $40 the first
month on 81 900 worth of stock which
Is loaned out at s per cent interest,
and at the time you pay in your last
installment the first $40 has increased
TO S19.44 less the expense of conduct
ing the business of the association.
The 1920 dollars paid in the first
year on same amount is worth 1925
When yon have paid for your $1,000
worth of stock it is worth near 81 300
This is a handsome profit.
"Agais, you should be induced to
join us for the benefit that will be de-
rived from it by the town. It will en-
nance the value Of the property in
the city and hence lessen taxes, and it
will be giving a helping hand to some
of our friends who wish to build houses
upon their vacant lots, but cannot af-
ford II or Is per cent interest or the
money they would have to borrow to
accomplish their purposes.
Already many gentlemen of the
Twin,City have spoken to us about
such an association and we believe, if
once started, that it would receive all
the capital required and gain hearty
support from our citizens
All over our city are vacant lots.
These are rapidly rising in value and
before they reach that point where
only the rich could afford to buy, it
would be a good idea to give the poor
man an opportunity to buy lot and
build him home.
Winston Salem has always been
acted rs a place of homes People
come here to stag. We wish it to be.
come more so. We wish the world to
know that we have the pleasantest, the
most progressive town in North Caro-
lima and that our population is not
floating, but permanent How can
this be done? Publish to the world
that poor man can get home here
on easy terms; publish to the world
that our citizens are ready and will
ing to put their money into an enter
prise that will benefit the town. This
is the rational, the proper way.
Let us have the association. Let
every man talk and think over the
subject and then let the Chamber of
Commerce start the ball to rolling.

A SOUTHERN BOOK OF EXCEPT
IONAL MERIT.


We are in receipt of the advance
sheet of "Etowah, Romance of the
Confederacy," by Francis Fontaine.
This book, unlike so many of to-day
has a purpose. 1t is intended to raise
money for the erection of a Confeder-
ate Veterans Home, in Atlanta, Ga.
We have long regretted that some
of our battle scared veterans of
the late conflict are without homes,
money or friends. To-day there are
scores of weak old men, with hair as
gray as the jackets they once SO proud
ly wore, who are wandering in
our Southern land, unpensioned, un-
honored and unnoticed. For these
this book is to help build home. It.
has high, noble purpose, and we bid
it God-speed on its mission of mercy.
The book, intrinsically, is one of rare
merit and we shall next week treat
our readers to a selection from lis
pages That every reader may the
more fully enter into sympathy with
the purpose of the book, we publish

DIR. HAWTHORNE IN TROUBLE.
Rev. DIR. Hawthorne is not yot out
Of the muddle in Atlanta, Ga He
was accused of plagiarism several
years age, but was cleared by an in
vestigating committee.
He was, for several years, pastor of
the first Baptist church in Richmond,
va. Three years ago he delivered
the baccalaureate sermon at Chapel
Hill, and, shortly afterwards was call
ed to Atlanta, Ga, where he waged a
successful war upon the saloons. He
is brilliant man and it is unfortunate
that he has so far forgotten his high
duty as to be guilty of stealing other
peoples thoughts
1t is thought by the majority of At
lanta papers that the case is so clear
against him that he will probably
be suspended from the ministry.
The view Of thr Charleston San
seems to be the general view. It CON
cludes an editorial by saying:
"Mr. Benet accused DIR. Hawthorne
of plagiarism and, however opinions
might be of the completeness Of proof,
made case strong enough to justify
action. DIR. Hawthorne replied with
a general denial and specific allega,
ton that Mr.. Benet is the hired and
cowardly tool of Georgia doggery
keepers. To support that serious ac-
cusation he offers not the slightest evil
dence to rebut the overwhelming in
ferences to be properly drawn from
position and reputation. His one wit
ness called for his defence, DIR. Strong,
refused to testify. The doctor let the
case for plagiarism, wherein he was de
PENDENT, go by default Of evidence, and
then convicted himself of wilful Sian
der, and that is all of it.

THERE was once a man who was
troubled with large fortune. He
bet on horse-races, played faro, and
invested in wildcat mining stock, but
all to no purpose. Finally the happy
idea dawEed upon him to establish a
new paper and boom certain aspir-
ant for Congress. 1t grew on him,
day by day, and finally he started the
paper. After that there was no trou-
bic. His money disappeared with
beautiful and bewitching alacrity and
his pocket book lost its corpulence
and reached the th;nness so anxiously
desired He who runneth may read.

Seen on the Housetops.

From the editorial rooms of the
Mail and ErpreSs the roofs of
hundreds of houses may be seen
spreading on all sides, some high,
others low. Amid the wilderness
of smoking chimneys, Tapping
clothes hung out to dry, and inter
woven telegraph wires, is enough
rubbish to fill an acre of swamp
land. Old kettles, broken bottles,
bricks, shoes, boots, tomato cans
and garbage make up the con-
glomerate heap. The low-roofed
houses seem to be the dumping
ground for the tenants of higher
buildings. In the tenement house
district the condition of things is
much worse, for the people habitu-
ally throw the ashes and garbage
out of their high windows upon
the roofs of the adjoining houses.
The tendency so natural in simple
country folk to toss their rubbish
over a neighbor's fence has come
to be a practice with the city peo'
pie also. The countryman, how
ever, has one advantage over his
city brother: he can remedy the
injury done him by tossing the
rubbish back, whereas this is hard
ly practicable in the city. The
only recourse left the injured citi-
zen is to shovel it off into the
street, or upon the roof of a house
lower than his own. Roof life in
New York is a curious and in
stfuctive study. Few know how
many thousands of people do their
daily work on the house-tops, un-
observed by passers in the streets.
From the Mail and Espress win
dows at least 100 men and women
may be seen on neighboring
houses, busy with their various oc-
cupations. On one roof several
women are at their washing-tubs,
while others are hanging up
clothes to dry. On hundreds of
roofs long lines of clothes are flap
ping in the wind. The washing of
this city is done upon the house
tops. Besides the washerwomen,
scores of telegraphic linemen are
are mending their wires.
At night time they swarm with
human beings. On the east side,
where there are few or no public
parks, the roofs serve as play.
grounds for the poor. Working
men gather in groups to smoke
their pipes, or play dominoes and
checkers. Women sit together
chatting, while their children run
about in play or sprawl at their
mothers knees. Every feature of
park life at night may be seen,
excepting the green trees and the
fountains. On some house tops
little gardens have been carefully
cultivated. Some of them have
graveled paths between the flower
beds, where the people walk in
the evening.-N. Y. Mail and
